"The stories kept me wanting more and the lessons are valuable
information for pre-service teachers. Bravo!" -Sharon Ulanoff,
California State University, Los Angeles "Narratives from the
Classroom will be useful in its ability to stimulate students to
get in touch with their past experiences in education in a critical
way. The questions offer a natural beginning for sharing
experiences. In this way, beliefs and values can be recognized,
scrutinized, and defended." -James Curtiss, Wayne State College
"These narratives provide expansive opportunities for reflection
and encourage each student to come to their own understanding about
what it means to be a teacher." -Betty C. Eng, Hong Kong Institute
of Education In order for pre-service teachers to fully understand
what it means to choose teaching as a career, it is important for
them to connect with experienced teachers who can share their
experiences of what occurs within the walls of schools. Narrative
accounts of teachers' experiences with students, parents,
administrators and colleagues are an excellent way for pre-service
teachers to obtain a clearer picture of what teaching really
involves. Narratives from the Classroom: An Introduction to
Teaching introduces the reader to many of the important classroom
issues surrounding the field of teaching. This book is unique in
that it is a collection of personal accounts and ideas written by
the teachers and teacher educators who lived those experiences.
Because this is an introduction to teaching, each chapter addresses
a different topic, ranging from the purpose of schools and
teachers, issues about policies and programs in the school, and
various practices found within the classroom walls. There is also a
section that addresses preparation for the job market and what the
first year of teaching is like. This book deliberately avoids being
prescriptive and encourages the reader to form his or her own
conclusions about the presented issues. Narratives from the
Classroom is designed as a supplemental text for teacher education
courses, especially those at the introductory stages. Beginning
teachers and anyone considering teaching as a career will also find
this collection an important and insightful addition to their
libraries. Key Features Editor's introduction to each narrative
provides context Questions and further readings stimulate the
reader's engagement and commitment to the topic Narratives provide
readers with significant exposure to 16 experienced teachers and
teacher educators Coverage includes diverse experiences and
opinions from authors of various ethnic backgrounds
